Carole Mundy contacted the Scunthorpe Telegraph saying she believes the gentleman in the painting is Henry Finney Sergeant.

"I am an ex-employee of Sergeant & Collins. I was with them for just short of 50 years. I believe this distinguished gentleman could be Henry Finney Sergeant, father of Peter Antony Sergeant of Sergeant & Collins. In fact, he is the original Sergeant of Sergeant & Collins. That is, if I am correct," she said.
